Guiding Question:

How can/do we use the IPGs, resources, & planning tools with our teachers to positively impact student learning?

Task #1

Study the structure of the IPGs. What patterns do you see? How will these patterns impact teacher

planning? How can/do we use the IPGs with our

teachers & teams to impact student learning?

Be prepared to share your group’s thinking with the whole group.

Task predicts performance The real accountability system is in

the tasks that the students are asked to do.

Academically Rigorous & Aligned Tasks

“The single biggest observational discipline we have to teach people in our networks is to look on top of the students’ desks rather than at the teacher in front of the room…The only way to find out what students are actually doing is to observe what they are doing….”

Task Analysis

Analyze math tasks A, B, C, & D for alignment & academic rigor.

Rank the tasks in order from the one with least alignment & least rigor

to… (#1) the one with the most alignment & most

rigor (#4).

Explain your ranking.
